Midweek round in the Premier League, 8 games today, and the last 2 games are played tomorrow. Today we're going to The Hawthorns where Tony Pulis's West Bromwich takes on Francesco Guidolin's Swansea. This is going to be a tight game, where the most important for both sides is to not concede goals.



The home side sits on a 14th in the Premier League, the home stats shows 4-3-5. Tony Pulis is well known for everyone and we know what's important for him, not concede goals with a tight defensive line, and at the same time play direct often with long balls involved. 22 goals scored on 23 matches for WBA tells us about a cynically team that are not playing to entertain.



Pulis has signed Sandro (midfield) on loan from QPR and also Alex Prichard (midfield) on loan from Tottenham. WBA have a quite long injury list ahead of today's game:



Ben Foster (goalkeeper) doubtful

Darren Fletcher (midfield) doubtful

Saido Berahino (striker) doubtful

Chris Brunt (midfield)

Callum McManaman (midfield)

James Morrison (midfield)



Expected lineup WBA (4-4-1-1):



Myhill

Dawson – McAuley – Olsson – Evans

Sessegnon – Yacob – Fletcher – McClean

Berahino

Anichebe



The away side's new manager Francesco Guidolin made a fantastic debut with a 1-2 win away against Everton last round. We saw a different Swansea side in that match, then we've seen all season. It was a lot of energy in their play, and we believe the manager switch was the turning point for the Welch club. Lies on a 15th place in the league, with away stats 2-3-6. Swansea's got a strong first team lineup and has been under performing so far this season, could the visitors and Guidolin continue with another win today?



The Italian manager has signed striker Alberto Paloschi from Chievo and Leroy Fer (midfield) on loan from QPR. Especially Paloschi is a good signing, Swansea need a striker and only Gomis (at times) has delivered after Wilfried Bony left the club nad signed for Manchester City. The striker flop Eder has gone on loan to play in Ligue 1 in France. No injuries in the Swansea squad.



Expected lineup Swansea (4-3-1-2):



Fabianski

Rangel – Fernandez – Williams – Taylor

Cork – Britton – Ki

Sigurdsson

Routledge – Ayew



We're most likely going to see an even match today, and perhaps with few goals. The formations from both teams from start tells us about the importance of not concede goals with defensive four back lines and deep midfielders. But these matches never ends up in a draw in a historical point of view. On the last 11 matches, the stats shows:

4 WBA wins

0 draws

7 Swansea wins



In 5 of these 11 matches it's been a draw at halftime, we think it will happen today as well. WBA's Yacob and a slow centre back Olsson could be in trouble in the space between their midfield and defense when they're up against quick and creative Sigurdsson, Routledge and Ayew. We believe Swansea will continue they're climbing up on the Premier League table, and take all three points from The Hawthorns today. We play the betting object halftime/full-time and pick draw/away win
